Octodrine is an α-adrenergic agonist originally developed as a decongestant in the 1950s. It has resurfaced as an ingredient in sports supplements. It is a central nervous stimulant that increases the uptake of dopamine and noradrenaline, used as a pre-work out stimulant/fat burner. Effects include enhanced euphoria and alertness, and increased pain threshold. There is limited research on the therapeutic benefits and harms associated with the use of octodrine. However, the potential side effects of this stimulant are wide and significant reported adverse events for dimethylbutylamine (DMBA) and 1,3-dimethylamylamine (DMAA) include cardiac, nervous system and psychiatric disorders.
The balance between In-Competition and Out-of-Competition testing reveals the maturity of a country's anti-doping program.
A higher proportion of OOC tests typically indicates a more proactive approach to deterring doping during training periods.
